Light-Junky Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Because I'm just a lighting casual my venue will not help cover the cost of the an IPAF. But I need the IPAF so can use the Genie Scissor Lift. As most of the time they have to find someone with the training.Anyway I just want to know where's the best and cheapest place in London to do the training?

J Pearce Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 If they need you to have it, they can pay for it.If you want it personally, then you pay for it. If you want it personally but they will make use of your training, then maybe come to some arrangement (maybe 50/50 on course fee, or a supplementary rate when you're being a lift operator). Most places that hire them out will run training sessions, if you get a few mates together they'll run a session, if not you may have to wait til their waiting list has the sufficient number of people on it to financially justify running the course, which will mean sharing the course with builders and electricians and plumbers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Was looking only the other day and found http://www.ipaf.org/en/training/courses/ lists all the centres, cost seemed to be round the £150 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Couch Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I personally done mine with HSS, which was done in North Acton at the time. Very good experience really, friendly trainers, quite a personal/intimate course so you get a chance to ask more questions etc, and they provided a nice lunch as well :** laughs out loud **: but other than that there's also facelift, who run the courses, pretty much same price.

stevefez Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Did mine with AFI Uplift. Very friendly, cost [pause while I find the paperwork] £180 for a two categories. £250 for three. A variety of centres were available, but ours was near(ish) Heathrow. Half decent lunch as well, all inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light-Junky Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Brilliant Thanks, really great suggestions, I thought it would be very expensive but £150 sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light-Junky Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 That would be brilliant as my mates don't work in the industry at the moment.How can we sort out a group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
